Description: Composed for the 59th birthday of Prince Maximilian of Saxony on April 13, 1818. The text used by Ignaz Heim has - with the exception of the first stanza - nothing to do with the birth serenade of Johann Friedrich Kind. The song was also widespread among male choirs with the text "Singet dem Gesang zu Ehren" used in Vivat Paulus!.
According to klassika.info, it was also sung with the text "Schmückt das Haus mit grünen Zweigen".
In addition, there is version "So viel Sternlein, als da wallen", which is treated separately on page Glaube, Hoffnung, Liebe (Carl Maria von Weber), so that it does not become too confusing here.
